Chapter 34: Murder in a Secret Room

"In this world, so many people die every day, what makes one person's death more important than others?"

At that moment, Jack's mind suddenly recalled a line from a movie he had seen, and he had forgotten the answer to this question, so he fell into confusion again. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Muffy and Andy stood at the door of the meditation room, both staring at their teacher's corpse, as if there was nothing more meaningful in this world than this lingering wreckage, but they never spoke to each other again, some kind of invisible barrier separating them between the two worlds.

The others stood far away, and since it was not someone close to them who died, the grief and pain they felt was very light, and the old man's body was so miserable that they all subconsciously stayed away from the bloody and small room - Jack had not yet been able to see the broken corpse without changing his face, and he was still a little resistant to this from the peaceful world.

"Sam ......" put a mess behind him, and another one came to Jack's mind, and he whispered to Sam next to him.

"What?" Sam also consciously lowered his voice.

"What do you say about Muffy and that Andy?" Jack glanced at the two standing at the door of the meditation room, "They're brothers and sisters, right?"

"That's right, but I'll tell you...... Sam said excitedly with a lewd smile on his face, "but Maffei and that Andy are also the biggest enemies." ”

"Huh?"

"I'll tell you, that Andy is a big rotten person, no matter what the competition is, he has to crush Muffy, of course, it's nothing, the point is, he will wear that gentle smile all day long, and go around cheating on girls, super disgusting!" After a pause, Sam put his mouth to Jack's ear and whispered, "What's more, that Andy once played with Muffy's sister's feelings, causing that little girl to commit suicide by jumping into the lake, so since then, Muffy has hated Andy very much." ”

"Wow...... It's really ......" because it's too bloody, so Jack is a little excited, and this way of making a feud is the most emotional.

"Master Jack, there are only dead people over there, it's not good for us to gossip like this, right?"

Jack turned his head to look and saw that it was Tifa with a face full of curiosity and shame, although he said "don't gossip", Tifa still took the initiative to bring his little head over.

Alas, this kind and curious girl like a kitten......

"Don't think about it so much, Tifa, we're just exchanging information, maybe we'll be able to help solve the case a little bit!" Jack whispered reassurance, then turned to Sam and asked, "Does Mr. Ron Francis have any enemies?"

"I don't know, the Deputy Minister has always been amiable, although he is a four-ring mage, he never puts on a show, but the Deputy Minister is a very upright person, and he often criticizes the bad behavior of others - this may form some hatred, but the Deputy Minister's criticism is very respectful of others...... I don't think it's very common for someone to kill someone for this little thing......"

While a few people were chatting in a whisper, the people of the city guard reconnaissance team also came, and in front of a large number of police officers in dark blue uniforms, there were three leading people, and they didn't wear those uniform police uniforms.

The first of the three was a man in a brown deer-hunting hat, a brown mesh-patterned coat and a brown shawl, a tall man with thin cheeks and sunken eye sockets, dark brown curls and dark blue pupils, and a pipe in his thin, pale lips. During Sam's introduction, Jack learns that his name is Peter Kun, and that he is the most famous detective in Ash City.

So is it the image of Sherlock Holmes, the name of Peter Pan? Jack, who was very happy to be smiling, complained in his heart.

Peter Kun was followed by a diminutive man in a mesh shirt and a small leather vest, with a square face, gray hair, glasses, and a pair of white gloves. His name is John Rachel, and he is the forensic doctor on Peter Kun's detective team.

The last one was a beautiful woman with long brilliant blond hair, he was wearing a man's black suit, wearing leather gloves commonly used by swordsmen, standing upright, looking heroic, he was Hugo Heller, a silver knight of the fifth rank, and he was the guard of the detective team.

These professional investigators quickly investigated the entire crime scene, some of the officers were responsible for taking notes for those present, while others searched the scene, investigated the body, and recorded all the images of the crime scene with magic props.

Although Jack is a count, in this western continent where the law is above all else, he still has to cooperate with the investigators' investigation. After telling the police the truth about his previous whereabouts, he walked to the door of the meditation room and curiously observed the legendary Ash City detective team.

With a focused expression, Peter Kun took his magnifying glass and carefully observed every corner of the meditation room. John Rachel cast a spell [Death Detection (2nd Ring)] on the broken corpse, and he appeared to be a mage of the School of the Undead. Hugo Heller, who was too beautiful to speak, stood quietly, waiting expressionlessly for something unexpected to happen.

These three people look so professional......

After some investigation, the entire reconnaissance team has already obtained preliminary results.

"Peter, the deceased died six hours ago, about nine o'clock in the morning. "Also, this corpse is missing a rib." ”

"Who found the body?" asked Peter, calling a police officer.

"It's a maid who comes to clean, and she's in charge of cleaning the meditation room that she uses up on weekdays. She said that at that time, the meditation room was lit with a green light, indicating that no one meant. ”

"Hmm, was the meditation room locked at that time?" asked Peter.

"Yes," said one of the officers, "the Arcane Council's meditation room can only be locked from the inside every time it is closed, and a special key is required to lock it from the outside. Moreover, the meditation room has a magic array of [Detecting Vitality], which can determine whether it is used by anyone. ”

"It's the only one who opens the meditation room who has the key, right?" Peter asked in an uncertain tone.

"No," said the officer, "Inspector Peter, there are spare keys in the Arcane Council's guardhouse, in order to lock the door every night and prevent accidents. In addition, this string of bloody footprints that stretched from the doorway to the pool of blood, after we compared, the size and pattern were exactly the same as the shoes on the corpse's feet, and the corpse's shoes were indeed stained with blood. ”

"Well, this set of footprints is suspicious, why is it heading towards the corpse? and it looks too shallow, it doesn't look like a normal person came out. Peter touched his chin and instructed the officer, "Go and ask the guards first, and call all the people who have come between eight and nine." The corpses are all miserable like this, it can't be suicide!"

Jack, who was standing in the doorway, also carefully observed the crime scene, although he didn't like this kind of scene that was too cruel, but he was curious about the detective's demeanor, and felt a little unconvinced, he always thought that he was a smart man, and there was no reason why he couldn't solve the puzzle that others could solve.

What's more, this is a murder in a closed room! This is a murder in a closed room! This is a murder in a closed room!

Say the important thing three times!

It's exciting......
